What Is JC Fridays?
JC Fridays is a free, quarterly arts festival held at the start of every season. Visitors explore participating businesses, galleries, bars, performance spaces and other venues to see visual art, live performances, screenings and talks while meeting artists, residents and fellow visitors. In 2026 the festival has grown thanks to a significant grant from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority A.R.T. Program, with more billboards, printed brochures and digital promotion than before.
